Jon gave my boyfriend, his dad, and I all amazing tattoos. I went first and got the Hawaiian islands to represent this trip and hopefully future travel to other islands. My boyfriends dad got a Hawaii chicken with amazing colors! My boyfriend got his first tattoo that represents his family. Jon was friendly, had a positive attitude, and made us all laugh. Only took him 2 1/2 hours to do 3 tattoos and they all are exactly what we wanted. :) read more

I could not be happier. I came in with a vague idea and Jon nailed it. Plus, he worked on me even before my appointment, which freed up the rest of my last day on Kauai. His work is beautiful and he kept me laughing the whole time. He also accommodated my random anxiety, making the vibe as awesome as the rest of my trip. Videos of Kauai on the TV was exactly the calming vibe that helped me make it through while also being a warm reminder of my trip to paradise. read more

Recommended. I got a spontaneous freehand tattoo here this 2023 trip from the owner Jon Beechly. His text communication was on point, the shop is organized and clean, our conversation was robust, and my tat is exceptional. I'm sure Jon does not need my review to get business. He is well-placed near the Marriot / Royal Sonesta resort on Kalapaki Beach and has a huge personality, design talent and intellect to attract folks far and wide but just in case you are wondering, this tattooist is also an avid martial artist, collector, activist and family guy with extensive knowledge to realize your body ink project. Be sure to come correct to this business. All bullshit aside, this is a very creative shop. read more

Jon did such an amazing job on my tattoo! I am so happy I was recommended to him because he was able to put two pictures of two things I wanted and blend them perfectly together. I am the type of person who needs to feel comfortable when getting stuff like this done and right from the beginning of talking with him and during my session he was able to talk story with me and keep me calm. I would highly recommend him because he does such amazing work! read more

Jon is a genuine, down to earth dude who we'd love to get tattooed again by!! He made us feel welcome and comfortable during the whole process & we gained a friend in him. Mahalo Jon read more

There was a slight miscommunication with Jon about scheduling but he was quick to remedy it. He was able to tattoo me and my sister (we were supposed to get them on separate days to not conflict with our itinerary) quickly and beautifully. It's by far the fastest I've ever had a tattoo done and it turned out amazing! He also has great bedside manner and constantly checked on me and my sister during the tattoo to make sure we were okay. The entire experience was wonderful and I will definitely book with him again the next time I visit the island. read more

Jon was amazing! My finace and I wanted three small tattoos. I called Jon and he took us the next day. I texted him what tattoos we wanted and we showed up the next day. He created the stencils, tattooed us, and done! It was quick and easy. Jon's super friendly, has an a really cool studio, and we had so much fun hanging out with him. Definitely go to Jon for your tattoo when on the island. read more
